Your spelling is a little off, but I catch your drift.
Try Wikipedia for both, here are the links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_readers
And and article on CAPTCHA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_readers
The second is especially aposite to your question if you read carefully.

Subject: [access-uk] overview of capture with screenreader issues for the
sighted?
hello list,
does anyone know if there are any online documents/pages giving a brief
overview of what screen readers do, and why we can't use them with the
captures that seem to be cropping up on more and more websites?
I ask this, as I have tried to get on a few online petitions, but they use
captures, and don't have an audio version of them, but the people running
them, because they want all the support they can get, are genuinely
interested in improving the situation, and I would really like to have
somewhere to point them that would give them the info on why screen readers
will not read captures, and if possible, would also have the info on how
they can make them accessible, such as with an audio version.
